Freedom to Move: Free Lactation Pens Improve Sow Welfare

Farrowing crates present a major animal welfare problem.This study investigated the effects of temporary confinement at farrowing on sow welfare and aimed to determine whether this type of system could improve sow welfare through increased freedom of movement.Sows Camping were housed in one of two farrowing accommodation treatments: conventional fa

Relationships between the ABC-exporter HetC and peptides that regulate the spatiotemporal pattern of heterocyst distribution in Anabaena.

In the model cyanobacterium Anabaena sp.PCC 7120, cells called heterocysts that are specialized in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen differentiate from vegetative cells of the filament in the absence of combined nitrogen.Heterocysts follow a specific distribution pattern along the filament, and a number of regulators have been identified that in

Quantum thermodynamically consistent local master equations

Local master equations are a widespread tool to model open quantum systems, especially in the context of many-body systems.These equations, however, are believed to lead to thermodynamic anomalies and violation of the laws of thermodynamics.In contrast, Camping here we rigorously prove that local master equations are consistent with thermodynamics

Molecular mechanisms underlying age-dependent effects of rearing system on the goose testicular development and semen quality

As an important non-genetic factor, the rearing system has significant effects on male poultry reproductive system development.However, compared with other poultry such as chickens and ducks, less is known about the effects and mechanisms of rearing system on the gander reproductive organ development and semen quality.In Poncho the present study, t
